Die geometrische Zeichnenkunst oder vollständige Anweisung zum Linearzeichnen, zur Construction der Schatten und zum Tuschen für Künstler und Technologen, und zum Selbstunterricht: zunächst zum Gebrauche beim Unterricht in den Königlich Preußischen Artellirie-Schulen

Burg, Meno · 1845 · 14 pictures

A geometric drawing manual by Meno Burg, published in 1845 in Germany for artists, technologists and self-learners, first used in Royal Prussian artillery schools. Its plates are engraved technical diagrams of solids with construction lines, lettered points and cast shadows, drawn in a precise pen-and-line manner. A designer could take from them the clarity of orthographic projection, shadow tints built from hatching, and the labelled-figure layout used for instructional diagrams.
